I'm guessing the forum issues have to do with this being in the "Business Ads..." section. Quoting looks like it's only working for Tony (a Mod) and Dianne (thread owner), so it's likely some kind of permissions thing.

[quote="Dianne"]Blastphemy, you know not what you speak here.No hidden fees in CA.Contracts are clear.All cars, whether a Yaris or a Landcruiser, have a $650 TFS inception fee. Doc here is $80. CA tire fee, $7. HOV sticker is $8. License fees are what they are - and depend on buyer's county of registration.[b]What's left is pure cap reduction. and the state taxes it. If it wasn't there as a cap reduction, it would be part of the payment and subject to tax anyway.[/b][/quote]

There's also a backend fee on lease termination if you don't buy the car at termination. That fee is ~$400.[quote="Dianne"]You may as well use TFS's $16,500 to pay everything up front anyway, because what's left is going to be taxed as if it was part of a car payment. If the large cap reduction wasn't there, you'd be taxed on it as part of the payment anyway.

Thank you to Dianne for making this one of the easiest car transactions I can remember, even though I had to travel 100 miles to buy it! I'm the proud owner of a white 2014 RAV4 EV. There was no fooling around. The car was ready when I arrived. The paperwork was done smoothly, with no liberties taken or up selling attempted. Dianne and Larry made sure that I understood everything about the car thoroughly before I left.

P.S. I knew the range was good, but it was very gratifying to drive 100 miles home and still have enough range to go out for dinner and shopping if I really wanted to. My LEAF's range has been falling like a rock.
